2017 PASS Elections

It’s that time again! Time for us to prepare for the 2017 PASS Board of Directors elections. That starts with the formation of the Nomination Committee (NomCom). Last year we made important changes to the way we form our NomCom to ensure we have a balanced perspective and a practiced group to support our elections.

The NomCom is a very important part of our election process and is a big commitment for volunteers from our community. The role of the NomCom is to review election processes, to work with the Board to create an ideal candidate description and then to evaluate candidates against that description. This takes many hours and strong collaboration between dedicated volunteers.

I want to congratulate Allen White, Erin Stellato, Mickey Stuewe, Mike Hillwig and Thomas LeBlanc for being appointed to the 2017 NomCom. I also want to thank them for the time they have committed to giving to our organization. I look forward to working with each of you over the course of this election cycle.

This year we have 2 regional seats and an open seat up for election.

For information on how our seats are awarded check out our process. Keep an eye on the election page of our website for more information in the coming weeks!

If you have any questions, or if you are considering running and would like to connect with a current Board member to learn more about the commitment, please contact governance@pass.org.
